About Us

Our MISSION is to provide excellent
amateur and professional theatre in Transylvania County
and to encourage young and old alike to develop and
maintain lifelong relationships with the theatre arts,
whether through participation or attendance.

We
also wish to develop a comprehensive strategic and
financial plan and a broad based fundraising program so
that we may buy land and build a theatre that will serve
our mission and the programs that manifest that mission.

Although being a fraternity of theatre enthusiasts
that exists to produce plays and skits is not a bad
thing, and we have done it well since 1935, now we can
and should become more.

Our vision is that we be
a cultural resource for the community, and that every
citizen of the county will be, at the very least, aware
of ... hopefully, feel part of ... and, ideally, be
proud of ... our activities and facility.

We will
bring the magic of live theatre not only to the stage of
our own facility, but also into the community via
extensive, ongoing programs in schools, senior centers
and other focal points of activity within Transylvania
and neighboring counties.

In doing so, we will
become an organization which instills a sense of
ownership extending well beyond our actors, support
staff, and theatregoers. Ours will be a theatre that all
citizens of Transylvania County will feel they have a
stake in.

The Brevard Little Theatre (BLT)
is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization
formed in 1935 to
present live theatre to the residents of Brevard and
Transylvania County. Except for a few years during WWII
we have been presenting live entertainment since our
inception. We are one of oldest non-profits in the
county and are proud of our heritage.

Presently
we are run by a
Board of Directors overseeing several
committees that concentrate their efforts on specific
jobs.

We are an all volunteer enterprise and no
one collects a salary for their time, we all do it for
the love of the theatre and community.

We usually
produce 6 shows per year with each show running over 3
weekends. Dramas, comedies and musicals are all included
in our roster.

We have had several homes during
our long history and now have a long term lease at the
American Legion Hall in downtown Brevard.

We
also hold our annual Dancing with our Stars competition
where we feature local personalities paired with skilled
or professional dancers. Partners perform and the
audience votes for their favorite.

Our hall is also available for rent for weddings, graduations, parties, etc. If you are interested in renting the hall,

space, please call Steve at (212) 677-2840.
